DAC quote taken from lukeford.com:

"Gregory Dark hit his stride with New Wave Hookers 2... one of my favorite adult movies along with John Leslie's Raw Meat and Radley Metzger's Misty Beethoven. Gregory is not influential. Few people understand his stuff because it's so dark and intellectual."


So, unbenownst to him I once met David Aaron Clark in 93 at an Annie Sprinkle performance in NYC. He seemed cool for a fat raincoat creep journalist, but there was an air of arrogance that emanated from him like creepy b.o. Of course, he was covering the "event" for Screw at that time, but to me reading Screw was like staring at the scrawl on bathroom stalls. Meaning, I never really bothered to buy it b/c who would stoopidly drop good 'ol dirty dough scratched together for glossy pink cooze glints in all color porn magazines for Al Slobstein’s over-priced perverted N.Y. Post w/ some insights to sleaze and personal ads for city call girls which meant zilch in the suburbs. Basically, it was an overpriced Village Voice about sex. BORING!
Eventually, as his bio sez Clark moved out to Frisco and started directing. One of his "works" I glanced at was Poison Candy mainly b/c I liked Eden Rae, so all you really need to know about that "movie" was it has awful camera work and banal sex plus that idiot Kid Vegas. It made me hit eject in a New York second. The only other abomination I saw of his was Salome De Luxxx, I don't know why, but the pretentiously moronic name alone should have stopped me...
Anyway, onto the task at hand and not sully this Gregory Dark defence w/ Clark's hapless antics, but much of today's extreme porn and over the top gonzo owes more to Dark (unconsciously maybe) in subject matter and towards pushing the envelope of taboo to extensions of boundries that reflect the current frustrations of a culture constantly hurtling on the highways towards decline which is great for depravity. Dark had already hit his high water mark w/ the original New Wave Hookers and it IS the BEST porn movie of all time shot on film and meant to be watched on a big screen in murky Deuce-like theaters through cig smoke haze and foul lube in the air. Sure, I only saw it on early VHS, but it still brought that sleazy vibe described above to my sunroom at night shades pulled tight. Sadly, years later I’d think New Wave Hookers 2 was a disaster actually though his perverse fascination w/ the psychological facets of his performers through brilliantly scripted likewise visually skewed scenarios he got the most even out of the least motivated whores around. The bare bones thing perverts probably grasped on a primal level about Dark was his evil eye for detail and ability to capture his subjects in action through the growing artistic contempt of his final years in porn aptly revealed in The Shocking Truth 2 w/ gal pal dominatrix Star Chandler. Ironically, one his last works yet his BEST gonzo movie right before he ditched porn towards greener pasture$ in made for MTV videos. Yeah, I thought Rob Black's early movies aped Dark's style, but that irreverant maniac Black has lost his touch since then. Don't worry, he'll find it again hopefully through Salome aka Kami.

Your Subject line was too long so I shortened it.

DAC seems to be a wannabe, a not-quite-is, and a never-really-was - A Bill Marigold for for the 21st century. Someone who knows many more people in the industry than in turn know him...

His latest trick is claiming on ADT to know Khan Tusion so well that dac is familiar with the details of Khan's childhood. This in the context of armchair psychoanalysis claiming that MeatHoles is a product of Khan's childhood...

Clark is one of the maybe 1-3 people on the internet who I actually dislike. All that can be said about him has already been said.

Clueless is right. Gregory Dark is the father of contemporary pornography. We suffered through all the masks and cretinously arty editing tricks so we could watch the women in his films to get fucked to the point of resistance. He was ahead of his time and the fruits of his labors are now being harvested heartlessly in an assembly line fashion, the pretentions and production values boiled away so we can get just what we really want. Porn, at its best and most essential, is all the thrills of rape and none of the legal difficulties. Plus you can play it over and over. And over. Again.

Thanks,

thanks for you input simp.
your articulate well reasoned analysis features a near academic knowledge of pornography in a historical context along w/ a sociopathic lack of empathy for human emotions revealed in a morbid fascination w/ women degraded for puposes of physiological and intellectual arousal. It proves a perverse truth to your intellect and fuels those misogynistic fantasies exposed in your bizarre yet amusing infrequent posts.

David Aaron Clark is a fucking windbag. There's nothing more annoying than marginally schooled people parading their "education" around like it were a showdog poodle Sorry, I didn't get to matriculate at Talahassee Community College like you Aaron, so my opinion is worthless I guess. Furthermore, he is even more physically repellant than me, something I thought impossible.

All I needed to see was that he wrote for the Targum @ Rutgers and that ain't a compliment. Basically from what I've seen at school newspapers usually made me avoid em through disgust b/c usually the clowns at those College rags are usually know it alls with big fat insatiable egos to feed w/o out the puny skills to back it up. I think this fact pretty much probably sums up fatso DAC today and yesterday.

He does seem to like the sound of his own voice but every once in a while I am able to pull some useful info from his posts- so for that I must give him a little credit. He seems to know quite a bit about asian porn and mainstream movies but I agree that his writing style is not to my taste.

The slob really needs to step back and look at his own porn before he gets too impressed w/ himself.

The stupid Gregory Dark comment was made by that jackass DAC. It's cool that you saw NWH in a theatre and seem to know something about Dark, but the fact you defend DAC's porn makes that meaningless to me. Yeah, I could write the book on being opinionated, but I think I can honestly say that my eyebrows prolly know more about Nora Kuzma than you'll ever know. Here are 3 questions for you smarty pants: Who said anything about Andrew Blake? Who'd bother to watch the edited version of New Wave Hookers? Who the fuck are you kidding?

Goddamn! Is this the new Smut? He's leaving wreckage all over the board.

shhhhhh Jeff, that was suposed to be a secret.

collective abstract 'you."

How about .... "At that time, in porn, there were three styles that would become influential over what would follow: Blake, blah blah; gonzo, blah blah, and Dark ..."

I'm not sure what's so hard to get. "You" does not mean you personally Smutmutant, it means anyone at that time watching porn.

ahh fuck it. the abstract "you" was the crux.... let's move on, crunk. my bad your bad who cares....

Yeah .... back to DAC-bashing.

It is too inflammatory a subject- what say we talk about jazz

in the name of the jew/jap god of violence i demand resumed hostilities.

Well since you incurred the name of Kyoto- I agree

kyoto is a rabid kitten that I 'd run over w/a Hummer given the chance, so keep that pussy out of this... I'd rather get back to trashing DAC who recently got a deal w/ Video Team to release more of his tepid asian lesbian bore-noir. I'd rather see Kami behind a lens than that fat sack o' pig's guts... You listening Rob Black?

"bore-noir"

Yeah Crunk, I've got a whole glossary that I should copyright, but for now we'll have to settle for a mental snapshot of DAC next to "bore-noir" in the Smutmutant online Dicktionary.
